Algeciras is a busy port area with a daily outdoor market and is quite an interesting place if you have the time to explore. The Plaza offers very pleasant seating areas with cafes and surrounding shops. The promenade adjacent to the port is traffic free and a good walk.<br />
<br />
There are regular ferries to Tangiers, buses to Gibraltar via La Linea, Tariffa, Marbella and Puerto Banus also a regular train service to Rhonda. The bus and train station provide a cheap, clean, reliable service. Suffice to say this is not your typical sandy beach holiday resort. But we enjoyed the experience and would definitely go again.
